A visit to Hazards Pavilion yesterday
afternoon showed that everything will
be in shape when the ball opens at 8
o'clock tonight. The committee have
had some trouble in securing enough
bunting with which to decorate the
walls and galleries, and on Sunday Vice.
Consul Mortimer made trip to San
Pedro and used his persuasive powers
with the captains of the vessels there to
such good effect that he came back
laden with quite number of the ships
flags. The ground floor of the Pavilion
has been entirely cleared, and this
morning will be thoroughly waped, SO
that the dancing accommodations will
be as perfect as possible. Hat and cloak
rooms, a smoking room and retiring

About 1000 people are expected to be

In Brief, And To The Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature. IS
The human digestive apparatus is
one Of the most complicated and Won
derful things in existence. It is easily
out out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation Of dyspep-
tics.
But Green's August Flower has done
wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo-
pie so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember: No happiness without
health But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for bottle.

There is no landing place on the
stairway from laboraup to capital.
There are no bolted doors along. the

The fact was never better. put than
by Mr. Lincoln in his first, annual,
messages: ''There is nosuch relation"

assumed, nor is there any such thing
as free man being fixed for life in tho
condition Of a hired labcrer.; Roth
these assumptions are false, and all
lnterences from them are groundless. :
Many independent men every where in
these States a few years back ins their
lives were hired laborers. The pru-
dent, penniless beginner in, the world
lnbors for wages for u while, saves a
surplus with which to buy tools or

A Good Story on Marx Twain.

New York Letter.
1 was told recently a rather amusing
story at the expense OF Mark Twain
and the same story is already astand,
ing joke in society. Not long ago the
humorist was travelling in the coun.
try, and stopped one evening at a
house presided over by an elderly
woman. He was shown to room
somewhat bare of ornament and fur.
nlture, yet slept peacefully until morn.
ing. When morning came and he
arose, he became mindful of the fact
that although he had provided him,
self with q tooth brush, he had forgot.
ten his tooth powder. He consoled
himself with the thought that there
must be tooth powder lying some.
where about. After brief search, he
discovered something in small box
on the mantel, which certainly resem.
bled tooth powder. AT any rate, he
used it vigorously on his teeth and
found it satisfactory. When he got
down stairs he apologized to his hos.
tess for using her tooth powder. She
appeared surprised. What tooth

"On the mantel?" sherepeated. "Yes,
in small box. 1t was excellent" he
declared. Good gracious!" she ejac.
ulated. .'That wasn't toosh pow.

nor slightly alarmed. "Why, that

"auntie' had been cremated.
